It started with a lie. A night of blurred lines between a teacher and a student.
I wasn’t her student, yet it was the single most defining night of my life.
I’ve never been the man she thinks I am.
Most people have no idea about the life I’ve lived or the words that ring true when it comes to me—still waters run deep.
But you’d be hard-pressed to find a coed on the TGU campus who knows otherwise…because I’ve never corrected them.
The clock is ticking down, it’s Fourth and Inches with the ball inside the one-yard line and the focus is on me, The Guy on the Left. I’ve never felt like a football god, inside I’m…just Troy.
It’s time to set the record straight.
For my son, I‘ll find the strength.
In her eyes, I’m determined to gain redemption.
I will have them both, even if I have to take my eye off the ball.
*The Guy on the Left is a stand alone novel in the Underdogs Series. This is Troy's story.

I march my geriatric ass to the door and open it to see Troy fresh-faced, looking like a million bucks, even at the early hour. Due to the natural wave in my hair, and the fact I haven’t showered to tame it, I look freshly electrocuted.
“Troy,” I say by way of greeting. My mood rapidly souring.
“What’s with all the yelling?”
“What?”
“I heard you two going at it.”
“Oh, yeah, that.” Mom of the year, right here. “Dante and I were just discussing age.”
“Is that Troy?” Dante calls from his room.
“Yes, eat your breakfast!” I yell back.
“Well, tell him to come back here!”
“Eat your breakfast!”
“You two need an intercom,” Troy chuckles deeply, and I ignore the draw of the sound.
“He needs a muzzle. He’s far too observant, and outspoken.”
My son refuses to be left out of the conversation from his bedroom. “Troy, did you know Mommy is five times as old as I am today?”
Troy winces. “Ah, I can see why that didn’t go over well.”
“She’s too old to be a suppled coed!”
Troy crosses his arms. “What exactly were you two discussing?”
“She’s too old for you!” Dante supplies, humiliating me. “So, you can’t be her boyfriend!”
Briefly, just briefly, I imagine using Dante’s pillow to silence him.

I’ve been waiting for this book from the moment I picked up The Guy on the Right. Kate Stewart not only made us fall in love with Theo in that book, but she also gave us Troy to swoon over, and swoon I have!
Oh my gosh, I’m so in love with this story! Troy Jenner is one of a kind, and way more EVERYTHING than you think he is. On the surface, he might not seem to be the underdog, but there’s more to his life than meets the eye. This man has the most amazing heart, the most hard-working drive, and the most determined spirit you’ll find. He’s not just the pretty boy jock with a knack for messing things up that others think he is. He’s a genuinely good man just trying to make things right in his world, and you’re going to fall in love with him.
Clarissa, for me, was a little difficult to fall in love with from the beginning. Don’t get me wrong, I love her now, but I had a hard time liking her in the beginning because of her interactions with Troy. I felt very protective of him, so to see her treat him anything less than perfectly was hard for me (KS did an amazing job making you feel real empathy for these characters). But alas, she won me over and I adore her now. I understand her better.
Love and life can often be insanely messy, and that's the beauty of this book. It’s beautiful and sometimes ugly, and not a perfect love story. It’s crazy how real these characters feel and how much you invest yourself into their story. And like any good KS book, this one is a roller coaster of amazingness. You’ll laugh, cringe, cry, want to scream, feel the need to shake sense into someone, fan your heated cheeks, and swoon uncontrollably. I’m so in love with Troy, Clarissa, and of course, Dante. This book gets ALL the stars from me. Seriously, there aren’t enough stars to do it justice. It’s a MUST-READ book!
